Manager Mark Hinkins said locally sourced, quality food was the heart of Hunters success in Louth but the new Lincoln store needs to deliver that quality but with a difference.

He said: “The new branch in Lincoln provides different challenges. Its location in the heart of Lincoln is wonderful but provides a lot of competition from other food outlets, many of them well-known restaurant brands.

“So, of course, not only do we have to provide consistently good quality food but the look and feel of the restaurant is crucial too.

“We wanted to create a space that reflected the Hunters ethos and we have achieved that.

“The food will be created using locally sourced ingredients using our unique recipes and the design will be based around upcycled furniture.

“It’s a perfect fit and makes our restaurant stand out from a lot of the High Street brands that look exactly the same whichever branch you go into.”
